Say goodbye to eco-halogen

Say goodbye to eco-halogen

bulb

Indeed, since 2009 certain bulbs for non-directed household use no longer respecting the new eco-design rules are gradually withdrawn from the European market. Since September 1, 2018, sector- controlled, unpowered halogen bulbs will no longer be permitted in Europe with the entry into force of the 6th steps of EU Regulation 244/2009.

Yes, but not all bulbs.
As stated in the previous article, this new legislation does not concern all the halogen bulbs still on the European market. It only concerns non-directed halogen lamps with mains voltage. Other halogen linear bulbs R7s and G9 halogen capsules are not interested in this new phase of the regulation. Non-directed low-voltage halogen lamps (example G4) will not be removed from the sale. These halogen bulbs will have to meet the new eco-design requirements of the European Commission. The advantage is that this new law applies to the manufacture and placing on the market of lamps and not on ampoules already on sale. Non-directed halogen bulbs with mains voltage may, therefore, be sold while supplies last.

Other alternatives more economical and more ecological.
Do not worry, at All lighting, we have solutions to replace your lamps soon obsolete.

- LED bulbs: Even if it proves to be a little more expensive to buy than conventional or incandescent halogen lamps, they are much more economical, efficient and durable. With a 6.25 times longer service life, 6 times higher light output than halogen bulbs and 6 times lower consumption, LED bulbs are a very good investment in the long term. In addition, it produces no risk of pollution and almost no heat which avoids some burns.

- Eco-friendly bulbs: they are design and responsible because they are composed largely of recyclable materials.

- Incandescent bulbs: they are not really "green", but have some other advantages similar to halogen lamps. For example, they have instant ignition, excellent color rendering, produce no health risk and have a very affordable purchase price. However, their life is very limited (about 1000h). Their heat carries a risk of burning, and, like halogen bulbs, they are doomed to disappear in the years to come.
